  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 7 (Nougat)?
A: Yes, this is Android 7.1.1

Q: What code is Oct-N based on?
A: This version of Oct-N is based on LineageOS 14.1

Q: Why isn't there XYZ feature?
A: Shoot us a Suggestion if you want to see something added. While we are not going to promise to implement, we will always look into it

Q: But all the others have..
A: ROM developers, build something they want to use. The ROM developer that includes something they won't run implies less than 100% effort to ensure it does work. As a team, we have similar goals and objectives. If XYZ ROM has a feature you want, and we don't include (or don't want to include), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Oct-N.

Q: What about root?
A: Root is removed by default (user will be able to flash which ever root zip they want)

Bugs:
Bugs happen. Our testers are very good at breaking things, but no where near as good as the rest of the Android public. In order to investigate and fix issues, we need the help of the users who are going to report them. The Android OS has many nifty features to help us in this, but only if we can engage the user to assist us.

Logs, Logcat, and the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB)
Like any other OS, Android has multiple log files that are generated and record the goings-on of the system. As a user, you have two basic ways to view and pull these to send to us. Without the information in the logfiles, there simply is not a whole lot of information to go on.

Log file APKs
Team OctOs recommends SysLog from the Android Market. This application will allow you to selectively pick any (or all) of the system logs, compress them into a .ZIP file, and allow you to save, email, move to your Copy/DropBox/Cloud Storage account, etc.

ADB Logcat
The Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) is a powerful tool available from Google as part of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Used for many things, being able to selectively see, in real-time, what your device is doing cannot be downplayed. While there is more setup involved, if you are doing consistent ROM flashing, you really should invest the time to get setup properly to do it.

ADB Logcat tutorial here: How to create a logcat log


Basic Instructions:
  1. Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favorite Open Gapps package http://opengapps.org
  2. Reboot to Recovery (Note: Use Reboot to Recovery from Power Menu, Hardware-based boot to recovery, or adb reboot recovery - ROM Manager or similar software is NOT supported)
    --- TWRP is the ONLY recovery Team OctOs uses - We do not support flashing on CWM ---
    The Oct-N ROM installation script will automatically wipe /system, /cache, and /dalvik-cache. There is no need to do these before or after flashing the ROM unless you are instructed to by your Gapps Provider. When dirty flashing weekly updates, you MUST reflash Gapps along with any other files, apps, custom mods or kernels etc.. (anything that resides in system partition)
  3. Flash ROM, GApps and any additional .ZIP files
  4. Reboot

The foundation of the Android OS is the fact that is it open-source. We have all code we use internally in the creation of Oct-N available on our GitHub repositories.

Unless otherwise specified, all Oct-N builds kernel souce can be found on github at Team-OctOS.

In calls, it seems like the proximity sensor is always at 0.
This causes the screen to remain black, and all buttons unresponsive until the person on the other side ends the call.
Does anyone else have this issue, or know how to just disable the proximity sensor altogether?

Hi manfromgta,

Thanks for keeping our beloved S4 alive and up to date.

One quick question - I have jfltecan (i337m). Can OctOS jfleatt be installed directly or do we have to update update-script? Which twrp should be used - twrp for jfltexx or jflteatt or jfltecan?

Update: flashed recovery jftleatt (had jfltexx) and installed without any problem.

Thanks in advance.

Found some issues related to battery performance. Ambient screen wake doesn't allow the system to go into deep sleep mode (using naptime to force sleep due to saving battery still doesn't work) as well with wireless apps not allowing system to deep sleep. (Whilst deezer is running system stays awake).

Not sure if this is intentional?

EDIT: Should wakelock should be using this much battery?

Edit: Also. Replying to texts using the quick reply in the notification centre sometimes closes the app behind it. Defeating the purpose of the quick reply.

(Running off jfltecan)

OctOS looks really tempting! Thanks for keeping the S4 alive! I checked the OctOS change logs as well as the features of Nougat generally but I could not find an answer to one question: does OctOS (and/or Nougat 7.1.1 natively) allow apps to write to the external MicroSD card? I struggled with the lack of MicroSD write access on Marshmallow and prefer liberal reading/writing to MicroSD. (Merging MicroSD with internal storage failed spectacularly for me.) If anyone can confirm, that would bring me one step closer to Nougat!

There is a setting that directly says what youre asking in the developer options (allow apps to write to external sd) but i can't confirm if it does allow unrestricted write.
